Annapolis Junction Lunch - “We’re moving to Scrum” Are these the words PMP’s want to hear?

Scrum is like Linux. It’s gotten credibility now and everyone wants to try it, so it’s a matter of time before your project does too. Are, “We’re moving to Scrum,” the words you dread hearing?

If so, you’re not alone! For many, the transition of a PM into Scrum is awkward, like a teenager on your first date. It just doesn’t feel right and seems to go against so many of the things we learned to earn our PMPs!

But it doesn’t have to be that way because merely adjusting how we think about the PMBOK can be a powerful tool towards Scrum adoption. Lets take a look at Scrum through the eyes of PMBOK, mapping the mental constructs between them, and providing hints to make the transition… less like a teenager with acne.
